      Technical vehicle audit

Mostly, the visual inspection covers the body of the vehicle, interior, tires, engine, under vehicle and others.

You can also visit any garage with knowledgeable mechanics and good equipment’s which can offer an up to speed services aside the dealerships.

 Insurance and other levies

Every vehicle owner should check his or her insurance certificate if it is due. If yes, then it needs to be renewed. If it has no yet expired, then a reminder has to be set for the date of renewal. Also, other levies which are renewed annually should be checked so that you don’t get any issue with local authorities. This is very frequent with the commercial vehicle drivers.

 Driver and other license Renewal

Drivers should make sure that their license is up to date. Also, there are other institutions and establishments which require special permits before you enter their premises irrespective of where you are coming from. Such institutions include the ports and mining section sectors. Business owners and service providers should work on this seriously because without these permits, contracts renewals will also be at stake. For prospective buyers too, you need to get your driving license before you get your vehicle.

Safety gadgets

One of the things car users ignore by the turn of the year is the replacement of the safety gadgets in the vehicle. They include the reflective triangle, fire extinguisher and the first aid box. Every fire extinguisher an expiry so it needs to be checked. First aid box also has chemicals which have expiry dates as well and needs to be checked. Do not wait till the day you will need them before realised they can’t be used.

 Personal health Diagnosis

This is one the things mostly ignored by vehicle drivers and vehicle owners. Ideally, every vehicle driver should undergo health screening especially an eye test once a year. Statistics shoes that most road accidents are caused by human factors and as we grow our body changes. Nothing can be substituted for our health. So we need to be fit before we can sit behind the steering wheel.
